    Returning my I7 SP3...again.

    Loved the machine for the first week that I had it... but then started running into issues. When the keyboard is plugged in, I've noticed that the fan is on around 75% of the time, and the machine runs hot regardless of what I'm doing (mostly web browsing). Wouldn't be as annoying if not for...

    Poll Yellow streak poll (Model + Lot #)

    It's getting worse on mine. Found it on a multiple display copies at Future Shop. Pretty horrid. Gotta think there's gonna be a recall when MS catches wind of this.

    Post Your SP3 i7 Battery Life

    Need a 2-3 hour option... While I love the Pro 3 so far, battery life is TERRIBLE. If I crank my display down to 30-40%, I can get close to 4 hours, max. This is solely based on using Metro IE (with multiple tabs open). Have monitored what's running and what %'s are being taken up - nothing...
